Abstract
A symbol boundary in a data packet having a guard interval preceding a preamble having a predetermined sequence of symbols is detected by receiving a signal representing a data packet; sampling the received signal at a sampling rate; estimating channel impulse responses from a set of samples in dependence on the predetermined sequence of symbols of the preamble; determining an energy value for each of a plurality of windows of channel impulse responses, each of the windows corresponding to W number of consecutive samples, the energy value for each of the windows being indicative of the total energy associated with the channel impulse responses of that window; determining which of the windows has the greatest energy value; and identifying the earliest sample of the consecutive W samples in said determined greatest energy window, the earliest sample being indicative of a symbol boundary for the preamble.
